November odds & ends

With a new baby comes...a lot of staying at home.  Luckily the girls had school to break up the week, but we had to find entertainment at home. 

On a chilly, but sunny day, the girls decided to play in our backyard.  They have very creative little minds for which I am grateful. 







The pretty weather didn't last long.  Snow is falling all around!  But, of course, that doesn't stop Keira!  She ended up playing in the snow for an hour all by herself one afternoon.  Lexi didn't show much interest on this particular day and stayed inside.

When Daddy had a day off, the girls jumped at the chance to build a slide and play in the snow right in our own backyard.


We knew Rick's parents would be coming for Thanksgiving so we had to prep Cooper's room for Gramma Lynda to paint the graphics.

We celebrated Thanksgiving a little early with Gramma Judy and Grampa Steve.  Once again, she dodged the camera, but just a little bit of documentation as to what we did do...

Turkey, of course (and I might say, we have an excellent rub for the turkey to make it out of this world)





















Rainbow jell-o, a tradition we may continue because it is just THAT cool!

The week of Thanksgiving sort of came and went.  Rick had to work a lot, Gramma Lynda painted a lot, Grampa Craig played with the girls a lot, and Cooper hung out with me a lot.  Uncle Dallin came down from school to spend the weekend with us too.  Thanksgiving Day was super chill.  Dallin put on a mini concert for us to enjoy.  We had dinner the day after at cousin Ana's home.  Delicious!





















Christmas came early for the girls.  Thanks Gramma Lynda and Grampa Craig!
